The Knicks are bringing back Jordan Clarkson after signing him to a one-year, $3.9 million contract on Thursday, confirms SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley.
The shooting guard played in 72 regular season games for New York in his first season with the Knicks after joining the team last offseason on a veteran minimum contract. He averaged 8.6 points in the regular season and 4.9 points during the playoffs.

Clarkson initially came over to New York to be a scoring threat off the bench — he averaged 17.5 points per game in the previous six seasons with the Utah Jazz mostly coming off the bench. The 33-year-old even won the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2020-21.
His role quickly diminished, though, on the Knicks as he saw the fewest minutes per game (17.8) of his career. Nevertheless, Clarkson shot 45.1 percent from the field and 32.7 percent from three and enjoyed success on a championship-winning team.
In his career that spans 12 seasons with the Knicks, Jazz, Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers, Clarkson has averaged 15.3 points per game, 3.2 rebounds per game and 2.8 assist per game.
